The Wolf God's Unwanted Luna

Chapter 107: Operation Bed Time

I blinked, tried to steady my breathing, and cleared my throat before continuing. "I meant that you’ve shown me different sides of you: some good, some not-so-good. And since you already snooped around my mind without asking, I figured I’d get to know the rest of you the old-fashioned way." I tried for a teasing tone to ease the thick tension. "You know... by actually talking."

He didn’t respond right away. Instead, he dropped his gaze and started tracing idle patterns with his bare fingers along the wrinkled edge of the bedspread. I watched him closely. The silence in the room felt heavier than it should have.

I leaned back slightly against the couch and added, "Of course, I won’t have the luxury of knowing when you’re lying like you do with me."

His head snapped up instantly. There was a flicker of something fierce behind his eyes: something raw, intense, and deeply wounded.

"I will always be honest with you," he said, his voice carrying a weight that made the room feel suddenly smaller.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Will you?"

"I am."

"Starting now?" I challenged, leaning forward and uncrossing my legs.

Something shifted in his posture. He paused, clearly understanding what I meant. I could see the hesitation in his eyes, the mental tug-of-war playing out behind them. His dark brows furrowed, and he looked down again, his face turned away as if trying to hide the truth behind the question.

I stood up slowly and walked toward him, making sure to keep a safe distance between us. "Even if it hurts me? Even if it’s something I don’t want to hear?" I pressed softly, but firmly.

He stayed silent, head lowered, and for a moment I began to think he might ignore me completely. But then, slowly, he lifted his face. And when his gaze met mine, there was no doubt: his eyes glowed with a sincerity I hadn’t seen in him before.

"Yes," he said, his voice low but completely resolute. "I give you my word. From this moment forward, I’ll be honest with you. Even if it hurts. Even if you hate me for it."

And for the first time since all of this madness started, I saw something in him I hadn’t expected.
